Abstract:

The qualitative research aimed to assess the implementation of diverse contextualized remedial reading programs and identify its challenges. The study employed a phenomenological design, utilizing in- depth interviews as the primary research method. The findings of the study serve as a basis for policy recommendations. It was found out that the implementation of the reading program was based on the availability of resources and the capacity of the people. The challenges of the implementation were lack of supplies and materials, lack of support, and lack time management. Upon determination of challenges, remedial reading teachers looked for remedies to manage the identified challenges. Utilization of technology, conduct of capability building, solicit support, and conduct of home visitation were their ways of managing the challenges they encountered. Policies were recommended to provide quality remedial instruction and to give merit to the extra services given by the remedial reading teachers.
